Award text commemorates Robert as creator of the Happy Meal (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Who didn’t love a Happy Meal growing up? It seems you can’t get much more 80s than a McDonald’s kiddie meal but when did McDonald’s actually begin selling those little boxes of joy and what was in those early boxes? Check our Happy Meal promotional page for 1980 and see how Happy Meals came riding into the big 80s. Did you have any of these toys?

No, you can’t print this, you have to buy the cereal just like the old days. General Mills kicking it old school in high gear!!!! Grab three boxes of GM cereal in specially-marked retro boxes, cut off the order form and send in the clearly marked receipt and you could be the proud owner of a retro cereal tee! Yeah, I know cereal is expensive but I got 3 large boxes (not the 12 oz) for $2.99 each at Target and had coupons from the paper. This is for real just like in the day- no online participation kids, you’ve got to fill out a form and use a stamp. The cereals you’r e looking for are Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Lucky Charms, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or Cocoa Puffs at Target stores. No fear if you can’t find the box you want (after I spent 20 minutes trying to climb a shelf to get that last box of Lucky Charms, not knowing they’d moved them all to the end cap….) – you can pick any shirt on the form. Ergo: 2 boxes Lucky Charms + 1 box Cheerios = 1 Cinnamon Toast Crunch tee if that’s what you’re after. Get em quick though, only til supplies run out!
